PocketAdvocate

Patient advocacy for complicated neurological conditions. US and Canada.

Go into your next appointment with a plan.

I review your labs, imaging, records, and history, then help you sort out what deserves attention, what questions to ask next, and how to present the case clearly to your care team.

I'm a professional patient advocate with 5 years' worth of boots on the ground experience, and an autoimmune encephalitis survivor. I know what it is like to have a complicated case that does not fit neatly into a box.

No hidden fees and no surprise bills. Insurance does not cover this and I do not bill it.

My story: why I became an advocate

I work with patients facing complicated neurological conditions across the US and Canada. I came to advocacy after living through autoimmune encephalitis myself and learning how hard it is to make a complicated medical story understandable to the people treating you. My role is to stay on your side of the table and help you make the strongest use of the care you already have.

I became an advocate because, for three years, I learned exactly how badly I needed one.

    What it costs

    Three ways to work with me, each a flat price you see before you pay.

    Independent advocates typically bill $100 to $300 an hour against a retainer that runs down. Every price here is written out before you pay, and the work behind each one is spelled out.

    Straight answers

    Is this medical advice? Can I stop? Is my information private?

    If yours is not here, ask me before you pay for anything.

    You don't have to navigate this alone.
